An Aussie themed margarita created for Tio’s Cerveceria and El Jimador’s Margarita Month, February 2023.
“The beautiful thing about this cocktail is how easy it is to dress it up to suit. Dust your glass with Shichimi spice mix to make it a little spicy, add a touch of vanilla into the syrup to make it almost creamy, or like we do at Tio’s, drip some herb oil for that psychedelic finish,” Tio’s Jeremy Blackmore says.
RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 50ml El Jimador Blanco
- 30ml lime juice (approx. one lime)
- 20ml pineapple syrup
